Boxing Day...a bit late

Our "Boxing Day Do" was a lot of fun! I guess the perfect combination has a lot to do with good friends and good food....and maybe a bit of good wine. Folks began drifting in at about 3:30, and the last to leave departed at about 10:00. I'm not much of a party person, but I thoroughly enjoyed this bash...thanks to all of our good friends who helped to make it happen!

Barker was making the rounds early:



I left my camera out and it seems that several folks picked it up and snappped some pics! I'm delighted as I was a bit busy at first.


Here's Bobbie, in my little old kitchen, helping me out by assembling the salmon hor d'oeuvres:




C and his cousin Heather, discussing discussing politics or the price of oil these days:




Phew, we finally got dinner on the table....these folks thought I'd never get my act together! (Isn't Heather cute in her Froilicmeister hat!!!)

Folks just chillin:

There are two MARVELOUS dessert bakers in our crowd, and I am not shy about asking them to bring along a few of their delights:

I'm not sure that Bill and Bob were buying whatever it was that I was sellin':

We put Barker and Marley out on the patio while we were eating....needless to say, they both wanted IN in the worst way:

More chillin' after dinner:

I tacked the new kitchen plans up on the wall for everyone to inspect and add their comments...and then I turned my back on the plans:

Bill was demonstrating the proper technique to open a Christmas Cracker:
